can having a toothache make your throat hurt?

Question

the right side of my mouth on bottom started kinda hurting earlier...and now my throat is starting to hurt

Answer 1

yes. it can also make your eyes, ears and your head hurt. the poison from your teeth can kill you. go to a dentist. your sinuses can also cause your teeth to hurt.

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible to get a pain close to your throat with a toothache. The nerves in your body run in a network, often you can feel what is called "referred pain". That is when you have a sensation other that where the problem is, usually that nerve "transmits" a sensation somewhere else. If a tooth is infected, you body tries to fight the infection. Similar to when you get a cold and your glands get swollen. Your glands can get swollen with a dental infection as well. It is your body's way of fighting it off. The glands can be found under your tongue and towards the back of your mouth.

Answer 3

yes you have a throat infection. go see your doc. yes you can get severe throat infections from tooth abcesses (infection under tooth) and this can also affect your breathing as your throat can swell up and compress your trachea (windpipe). but yours is BY FAR not that bad. also, you don't have to have your tooth extracted , you could just have it drilled out and filled if you keep having toothache. glad your toothache has gone. rest, drink water, take vitamin c and get well soon.
